Without a vision at 42

At my 42nd birthday, I stand with no vision. I have no plan for the future burning in me. Whatever vision burned me, both spiritual and career , materialized. You might say ,”they might have been small and simple”. May be but they were big enough for quietning a person like me, so the issue couldn’t be the small size of the vision or even its simplicity.

No the issue is that I’ve deleted my vision statement I’d written last year and which I’ve followed all year round because repeating it would not increase my happiness any further. I’d be richer but money becomes valueless at one point. More on that later.

Can you imagine I’m desperately seeking to find a new vision. So here I’m awake at 2 am since a few nights not out of stress but out of a blankness in vision.

I’m the advisor for ceos and MD’s. Their vision is still in the making and i guide them towards fruition. But my own vision is complete by my 42nd birthday. It’s a problem.

Two impossible visions collided into reality : immense inner peace and successful sustainable career bringing money and free time in plenty. I’ve reached the highest rung of business hierarchy: the brain and heart or chief consultant. I had this vision in my meditation days at 23 to 25 years of age, yes 20 years ago. That was a vision that drove me to be unstoppable and take risks unthinkable and unconventional. But in the end i did it.

But the vision came completely true at 42, at dead stop today on the exact day of my birth. Wow ! Now even without any new vision my life will go on like on auto pilot towards more inner peace and more material success. I dont need a vision for that. If i don’t formulate a new vision it will be de facto “my vision is to continue my immense bliss and increase my consulting and training business.”

What’s wrong with that? It’s more success than Bill Gates whose not figured my half attainment.

You’ll think I’m a cocky guy and so full of himself. But no. I know what I’m talking about when comparing myself to Bill Gates.

Billions or a million: it doesn’t matter. Both have limitations. Anyways more on the later.

So I’m 42 without a vision. Is that ok ? I think it would be a waste. I need a vision that won’t diminish what i have today. That’d would be my first criteria.

I’ve got a few visions in mind but they don’t meet my first criteria so they can’t become my next vision statement.
If there is any vision that meets my first criteria what other criteria would it need to meet? I’m not sure.

It should be a vision that has a positive impact on the development of Nepal. It should make my followers happy and rich. It should enable millions to fulfill their desire for wealth and happiness without damage to the whole system. It should position me at the enlightened billionaire who commands nepal secretly. It should be a vision that will turn nepal into a success story akin to Japan but following two parameters of wealth and happiness.
So all these criteria are suggesting my vision is related to nation building.

So in short my vision should meet 3 criteria:
1. It should not diminish my immense inner peace and successful career with both ample money and free time.

2. It should have an impact on the progress of Nepal and its citizens

3. It should brand me as the first in the lineage of enlightened billionaires who influence the world before and after death.

So let’s see what vision will arise.
